Topic: My summer vacation starts Thursday! (Read 3951 times)

Yes, believe it or not someone on this planet trusts me to babysit, or maybe they are just desperate I dunno

My 2 boys and daughter in law are heading out on the cruise and since I don't particularly cotton to big ships in the Gulf I will be babysitting my amazing 2 year old grandaughter for an entire week, and frankly I would rather do that than anything else in the world!!

I haven't changed a diaper in 14 years, but they say it's just like riding a bike, a messy messy bike. We are going to play dolls, play dress up (I bought her a Rapunzel Dress from the Disney store), have afternoon tea in her playhouse, blow bubbles, go walking, and swimming and whatever else we can get done.

I have 3 full days of hand's on training before they leave, so hopefully I will pass all their "tests".

Aw, and here I thought *you* were going to be the one getting dressed up, doing drag in your fabulous frocks to entertain your granddaughter.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
